5.00Had a fabulous day in Athens. Our driver Totti was really friendly very knowledgable, nothing was too much bother. She was already waiting at the cruise ship terminal before we even got off, the minibus was immaculate and had WiFi too. We got taken to all of the places we wanted to see and more. We also enjoyed a fabulous lunch at a Greek restaurant as recommended by our guide. Thank you so much
Awesome time

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Minibus Athens Tours! From the beginning, Totti helped us with the booking process and was very responsive with all of our questions. Niko, our driver, was very professional and knowledgeable. He took great care to make sure my elderly father did not have to walk to far from pickup/drop off points. The Minibus was super comfortable and luxurious! We highly recommend this company!
Perfect Athens

5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us around to the sites where we took great pictures. He suggested seeing the Acropolis at the latest time available which was perfect timing for pictures. It was dry and cool and awesome. He timed it perfectly, also we saw changing of the Guard and had requested a stop for local dinner. Also fabulous. I highly recommend this tour. Our only issue was that the mini bus had no electronic step or at least he needed to have a stool in order to get in and out of the mini bus. It was a major big step and challenging for seniors.. Leonidas was a great driver
